The impact of an influenza pandemic can be measured in a variety
of ways: 50 million deaths in 1918 and 1919, hundreds of millions
of individual cases of sickness in 1957, and an estimated three to
four trillion dollars lost in global productivity in 2009.
By their very nature, the characteristics and outcomes of future
pandemics are extremely difficult to predict.
